Chapter 114 Chapter 114 Are you pretending to be in front of me?
Zhao Weijun felt ashamed when he saw Mrs. Sun sticking her butt out on the wall with a gleeful look on her face. But Mrs. Sun wouldn't listen to him, so he thought about it and used his trump card.
"Mom, didn't you notice that the yard is a little different today?"
Granny Sun didn't even turn her head and said: "If there is chicken shit, just shovel it yourself. Why do you keep calling me for help? Will you become an immortal after a few days in the army?"
Zhao Weijun: ...
He inhaled and exhaled, pushed the bicycle over, and patted the handlebars: "Mom, look..."
"What am I looking at? Look, look..." Mrs. Sun turned around impatiently and saw the 28-inch bicycle next to Zhao Weijun. She became silent.
"Bicycle???" Her voice suddenly rose, with a sharp tone in excitement, "Did you buy it???"
Zhao Weijun glanced at Song Ruan and Han Zhenzhen with some complacency, and before they could see his surprised and envious eyes, he felt a little uncomfortable, and said in a way that seemed to be an explanation but was actually showing off:
"Yes, I'm going to work in the commune in the future. It's inconvenient to go back and forth every day, so I used my retirement allowance to buy a bicycle..."
Han Zhenzhen was stunned and whispered to Song Ruan, "Is he showing off to us on purpose?"
Song Ruan snorted and laughed.
Mrs. Sun could not hear anything. She stared straight at the bicycle, just like an old bachelor seeing his new bride or an old drunkard seeing Maotai liquor. She was so confused and disoriented.
Bicycle, this is a bicycle! !
Just buying and exchanging tickets would cost dozens or even hundreds of dollars, and one bicycle could cost a family of workers a year's salary. "Three turns and one ring" is at the top of the list, and there is not a single bicycle in the entire brigade!
Yes, even the captain’s family doesn’t have a bicycle! !
She didn't even dare to think about how eye-catching she would be if she rode her bicycle around in the team!
Without Zhao Weijun saying a word, Mrs. Sun jumped down from the wall with nimble hands and feet, and swept over like a black whirlwind.
She raised her loving smile and spun around the 28-inch bicycle like a top, her face so full of teeth that her smile showed:
"Oh my son! I always say that you are the most promising one in our family. Oh my, look at this bicycle, it's so good. Our ancestors' graves are so beautiful!"
Zhao Weijun: ...
He glanced at Song Han and the others, but still didn't receive their looks of shock and admiration, which made him feel a little unhappy.
These girls are young and have high standards. They don't even look down on bicycles. Who knows how they will use their beauty to exploit men in the future.
Han Zhenzhen's eyes suddenly widened: "What does he mean by this?"
Tiedan, who had been in the house, rushed out: "Second Uncle, Second Uncle! I heard that you bought a bicycle?"
The third brother, Zhao Weimin, also came out of the house. He spoke with enthusiasm as if he had eaten a string of firecrackers: "Second brother! Second brother, you are really awesome - is this our bicycle?"
This was the first time that Zhao Weijun had received such warm treatment since he returned home from demobilization, and he couldn't help feeling a little elated.
Liu Xiaojuan stood at the door, looking at the almost new 28-inch truck.
Although Zhao Weijun did not give all his salary to her, after all, after so many years, he had a rough idea of how much money he should and could have. Although it was a bit difficult to buy a bicycle, it was not really impossible to take out the money if he squeezed a little - it was just that his savings over the years might have to be cleared.
Moreover, Zhao Weijun told her that this was a second-hand item that he had bought from a friend and the price was lower.
She had no doubts.
Granny Sun had already climbed onto the back seat excitedly: "Son, hurry up and take me for a ride around the brigade!"
Xiao Tiedan also jumped over and pulled Zhao Weijun's clothes: "Second Uncle, Second Uncle, I want to go too!!"
One was his mother, and the other was the only boy in the Zhao family. Plus, Zhao Weijun really wanted to show off, so he agreed easily.
"Okay, then you sit in the back, and Tiedan sits on the horizontal bar in the front."
Seeing this, Zhao Weimin smiled and rubbed his hands as he stepped forward: "Second brother, I want to..."
"You're just thinking about it, there's no room for you to sit still!"
Mrs. Sun looked at him warily - she wanted to be among the first to make bicycles!
Zhao Weimin also wanted to be the first one to ride a bicycle through the village. If he was the second one, he would not be so eye-catching.
This is the same principle as the competition for the first incense stick in the past.
He looked at his second brother persistently, and said: "Second brother!!"
Zhao Weijun really enjoyed the feeling of being worshipped and begged by his brothers. After Zhao Weimin had talked to him about this for a long time, he finally said with great reluctance and compassion:
"I want to take you too, but there's really no room here. Can you compete with mom or with Xiao Tiedan? How about this, I'll take you on the second lap."
Zhao Weimin looked at Grandma Sun, who was looking at him ferociously. Then he looked at Tiedan, who looked like he would scream and roll on the ground if he dared to speak.
Zhao Weimin: “…”
"Okay." He said reluctantly, "Then second brother, you must ride a second lap!"
"Oh my, what should we do?" This time it was Song Ruan's turn to lean on the wall and actively fan the flames, no, to offer suggestions, "This is your family's first bicycle. How can we miss out on such a good thing that is being shown in front of a large group of people for the first time?"
"You're going to the army, and Third Brother Zhao has also helped take care of Grandma Sun over the years, so how can that not be considered a great contribution? How can we miss out on this highlight moment?"
Although there was no such term as "highlight moment" in those days, Zhao Weimin easily understood her literal meaning and nodded immediately.
Originally, he was annoyed that Song Ruan would bring Tiger Head and Donkey Head to see the fun at their house every now and then, but now he no longer found it annoying and even wanted her to talk more.
——How true! He is indeed a scholar from the city, he understands the truth!
Song Ruan was not afraid of the excitement and continued to add fuel to the fire: "Sister Xiaojuan has been following you in the army all these years, taking care of the rear for you, so you can devote yourself to training with confidence. Sister Xiaojuan can't be ignored for your achievements today! This is your first time to make a grand appearance in the brigade, how can you not bring her?"
Liu Xiaojuan, who was originally standing at the door just planning to watch, felt that what she said made sense, so she immediately took two steps forward and stared at Zhao Weijun closely.
——Yes, she also contributed.
Moreover, she and Zhao Weijun are a real family. They are the closest little family!
Song Ruanping did not miss anyone, and finally cue Wu Jianguo who was standing at the door of the third room: "Besides, Sister Ye Xiang just entered your house. If you miss her at this moment, others may think that her status in your family is very low."
Although Wu Jianguo, who traveled from the future, was not very interested in riding a bicycle, he felt that Song Ruan's words made sense.
If everyone is sitting down, what would it mean if he is left alone? Exclude him?
He also took a step forward on the spot, staring closely at the bicycle. Yes, this is not just a matter of whether to ride a bicycle or not, this is the ranking of their family's status!
Wu Jianguo is ready to fight!
"Go away, you little calf, you are here to cause trouble," Grandma Sun interrupted and cursed, not at all the harmonious and harmonious eating melons together just now, "I think you have no good intentions."
"Grandma Sun, how could you think of me like this?"
Song Ruan complained for herself, "Look how carefully I have considered each and every one of you!"
Zhao Weijun heard Song Ruan's sinister intentions and no longer had the intention to pretend in front of the beautiful girl. He put on a straight face and said, "Comrade Song, this is our family affair, so please don't worry about it."
Song Ruan acted as if she couldn't hear the rejection in his words, and smiled like a naive person without any ulterior motives: "Don't bother me, I just made a small suggestion. What do you mean your family? We Chinese are one family!"
Zhao Weijun's face darkened, and he was not in a good mood: "According to what you said, mother, my third brother and sister, Xiao Tiedan, and my wife all have to sit down?"
Song Ruan shook her head sincerely. Before Zhao Weijun could breathe a sigh of relief, she spoke again: "And what about Sister Chen? Have you forgotten? Sister Chen has been raising Tiedan alone all these years, and also taking care of Grandma Sun. It's not easy. As the saying goes, a sister-in-law is like a mother. You can't leave her out!"
Chen Guifen unconsciously took a step forward, looking closely at Zhao Weijun.
Second brother! It really hasn’t been easy for my sister-in-law these years!
"Oh, yeah, your whole family is going, you can't leave Niuniu with you, right? Niuniu is so pitiful. As her uncle, and a soldier at that, you should know the slogan of the leader, 'Women hold up half the sky', right?"
Niu Niu in the corner looked at Zhao Weijun timidly but full of hope.
Zhao Weijun's face was so dark that he could practice calligraphy just by dipping a brush in it:
"According to what you said, no one in the family can be missing?"
Song Ruan smiled innocently on the wall, trying to add fuel to their troubles: "You are a family, do you want to abandon anyone?"
Listen, listen, this bad woman has started using the word "abandon".
Zhao Weijun felt so hot under the gaze that he regretted having mentioned to him about buying a bicycle.
But in fact, when he took the initiative to mention the bicycle when Grandma Sun, Song Ruan and Han Zhenzhen were gossiping, he might have meant to show off his strength in front of the two pretty girls. Although he is already married, it is very common for a capable man to be admired by multiple girls!
Besides, they are neighbors, so even if something really happens, it’s convenient!
The result is now, instead of being admired by the other person, I am already in a lot of trouble.
He turned around and patiently explained to the people in the yard who were staring at him, "She doesn't know because she doesn't have a bicycle at home. There's only so much space on this bicycle, how can there be room for so many people? So, I'll take you in batches. Don't worry, everyone can get a seat."
Song Ruan said leisurely on the wall: "Who is in the first batch and who is in the second batch? Are they arranged according to the closeness or closeness in your mind?"
"Just shut up!" Zhao Weijun wanted to shove his fist into the mouth of this annoying chatterbox. Why did he think that this girl was good-looking and looked like a good person at the beginning? He was really blind!
Even Mrs. Sun didn't bother to retort to Song Ruan. She stared at her second son closely, and it seemed that she wanted to have a good discussion with him about the issue of closeness and distance.
——This is the mainstay of her future happy retirement life. If you don’t put her first now, what will happen in the future?
Song Ruan admired Zhao Weijun's miserable appearance after being messed up by her for a while, and then spoke with compassion.
"Open it up." She leaned over the wall and made an open gesture with her thumb and index finger. "I have a way to get you all to sit on it together!"
Damn, she hates people who pretend to be cool the most.
Keep pretending.
